The Age of Gods: My Entry is Updated Daily

What do demonic cultivators represent?

Those with milder demonic tendencies merely engage in dual cultivation through absorbing the essence of others, refining ghosts and controlling their souls, or using the blood of ordinary beings to enhance their cultivation; their methods are cruel and have a relatively small impact.

Those deeply afflicted by demonic nature, in order to quickly increase their strength, may at best extract souls and refine their spirits, but at worst they become utterly inhuman, slaughtering their own kind or sacrificing millions of lives in a city!

If you encounter some freaks, they might even do something as outrageous as refining the entire world to sustain themselves.

It is normal for there to be contradictions and sins within God's Kingdom.

However, Lu Sheng would absolutely not allow a situation where a demon cultivator were to assimilate into their own kind.

Normal people wouldn't want to fight alongside such cultivators.

Furthermore, in order to quickly improve their cultivation, demonic cultivators often take unconventional paths, exchanging lifespan and potential for strength, which is generally not suitable for development.

"My lord, demonic cultivators have actually appeared long ago. However, I believe that they can increase the diversity within the divine kingdom to a certain extent, increase internal motivation, and make the divine kingdom's army more adept at dealing with demonic cultivators in the future."

"Furthermore, I am constantly monitoring the scale of demonic cultivators, and I will immediately intervene if any unreasonable variables arise. Please rest assured, Master," Tian quickly explained.

"How many are they? What's their strength?" Lu Sheng frowned.

"Around one million, of which no more than three digits are demonic cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, and their ages are generally no more than fifty, with the youngest achieving Nascent Soul at the age of twenty."

"A Nascent Soul stage cultivator at the age of twenty!?" Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng's eyes widened instantly, his face showing disbelief.

How could it be so fast?

It should be noted that even Chi Wu, who possessed top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root, Heavenly Grade Bone, and almost fully benefited from the SSS-level attribute "Heaven Rewards Diligence" buff, only broke through to the Martial Emperor (Fifth Rank) realm at the age of thirty-one.

And that demonic cultivator was so much faster than Chi Wu.

What did they do?

Could it be that they directly sacrificed an entire cultivation city?

"That person was the last disciple of the founder of the demonic path, named Wen Ruyu. He was born with the Holy Spirit Root and cultivated the S-level demonic technique 'Nine Extremes True Demon Art'. He was personally trained by his master, during which he sacrificed the lives of millions of people, including many human cultivators."

"However, after this person entered the Nascent Soul stage, he was possessed by his master and is now the number one person in the demonic path. At the age of fifty, he has already reached the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage."

"But compared to the regular army of the Divine Kingdom, their overall strength is far inferior, and the demonic cultivators are still in a state of hiding and running away," Tian explained.

After listening, Lu Sheng was amazed.

While this is also related to his talent stats, one thing must be admitted...

The cultivation speed of demonic cultivators is terrifying!

Even excluding Wen Ruyu, a demonic genius with a Holy Spirit Root, the other cultivators broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at most in their forties!

This is still because he was suppressed everywhere and had to hide. If he could cultivate demonic arts anytime and anywhere, and had enough "materials" to offer as sacrifices, it is hard to imagine how fast he would cultivate!

However, the existence of demonic cultivators is ultimately detrimental to the unity of the people of the divine kingdom. Large-scale development of such cultivators could easily lead to infighting among the people, causing widespread panic within the divine kingdom.

To sacrifice the future of the divine kingdom for short-term development is tantamount to losing the watermelon for a sesame seed.

Having the X-level [Master of Entries], Lu Sheng naturally wouldn't take that risk.

Just then, Tian seemed to sense Lu Sheng's thoughts and continued, "Master, you don't need to worry too much about the existence of demonic cultivators. To others, demonic cultivators are a rotten apple, but to you, they may be an extra way to improve the strength of your people."

"How so?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"Practicing demonic arts can indeed easily lead to qi deviation and the emergence of inner demons and other negative effects, but health and longevity are enough to suppress these hidden dangers."

"Most spells in demonic arts consume vital essence in order to forcibly increase strength, greatly damaging blood and lifespan, which naturally lowers the upper limit of the people's strength."

"But your people are different. According to the data from the Divine Kingdom, with the help of various abbreviations such as 'Heaven rewards diligence,' the average age at which your people reach the Nascent Soul stage is forty-three, but their lifespan is over a thousand years. Their consumption simply cannot keep up with the growth."

Lu Sheng frowned, still not quite agreeing with the idea: "Training demonic cultivators, isn't that like using our own people to raise poisonous insects?"

"Master, why do you use your own people to support those demonic cultivators in their cultivation?" Tian asked in return.

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng suddenly realized something, and his furrowed brows relaxed again.

Yes, demonic cultivators do need to absorb demonic energy, yin energy, or even materials such as life force, flesh and blood, but why must they use their own divine kingdom's people as consumables?

This is the age of gods; everything can be bought!

The battle in the outer realms is so fierce that corpses of all races, human corpses, corpses of special physiques, flesh and blood of high-level beings, and all kinds of souls are being sold in large quantities in the market!

Isn't this exactly what demonic cultivators seek in their cultivation?

With the blessing of "health and longevity," these demonic cultivators will not be affected by demonic arts, thus preventing them from becoming madmen who only know how to kill.

He could easily transform an entire region into a demonic realm, purchasing resources from the real world and actively cultivating a new generation of demonic cultivators.

Of course, this new group of demonic cultivators will be fundamentally different from the current group.

Within Lu Sheng's divine realm, with such abundant resources, those who still become subjects of demonic cultivators generally fall into three categories.

The first type is those whose own root genes have been destroyed under some circumstances, and whose normal cultivation path has been cut off, but who are unwilling to accept this, so they have no choice but to improve their strength through this crooked and evil way.

The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation was born from this.

To further increase his potential, he even found a Holy Spirit Root's subject, nurtured him from childhood, and then waited for the right moment to possess him—he was utterly ruthless in achieving his goals.

In a normal cultivation world, Lu Sheng would consider such a person a notable figure, but in his own little world...

That's a criminal!

This kind of trend must not be encouraged; in fact, it must be strongly resisted!

The second type is those who have experienced some kind of tragic or deep-seated drama, or are simply jealous of others, but whose strength and talent are inferior to others. What else can they do?

Cultivating demonic arts.

With such a large population base, even with all the positive buffs in Lu Sheng's divine kingdom, there will always be some strange and unpredictable creatures appearing.

The third category consists of people cultivated from childhood by demonic cultivators within the divine realm, such as Wen Ruyu.

Shortly after his birth, his entire family was killed by the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, and he was then kidnapped, brainwashed, and trained by him, eventually becoming his last disciple.

Before Wen Ruyu was possessed, he regarded the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation as his father. If he had not been possessed, he would naturally have become a member of the demonic forces.

None of these three types of people are what Lu Sheng wants.

What he wanted were normal cultivators who used demonic arts as a tool to quickly improve their strength, not these psychologically disturbed perverts and criminals.

P.S.: Taking a day off today.

I've been staying up late every night lately and haven't been feeling very energetic. I need to adjust my schedule.
